Melanie singing "woof" from the wheels on the bus.  If only she'd follow the advice in the song.

Look who turned 4!

 

 Same hat from last year  :)

 Being a little shy during the "happy birthday song"

 Presents!  Melanie thought it was a "bad rule" that we had to wait until everyone ate birthday cake to open presents, but she waited somewhat patiently until we had to turn the TV on to distract her.

Rings from Grandma Linda and Grandpa Jim

 But her all time favorite is these "twinkle toe" sparkle shoes from Aunt Katie.  They go on the minute she wakes up (and stays in her bedroom with her at night) and stay on the entire day. 

 

 Opening up cards "these cards have a lot of money!" she said.

 Also got another net which she uses to hall all of her new toys around in.

Thanks to everyone who came to help us celebrate!!  Melanie had a GREAT day!

 Today Melanie had a busy day!  First she had her Sunday School Christmas Program.  She was an Angel.  The teacher's told them to sing nice and loud!  The teacher told me afterwards that she was loudest singer they had.  I wasn't surprised!

 Afterwards we (mommy) made a snowman.  It didn't stay up that long, but it was fun while it lasted.  Since we had a carrot nose Melanie decided that it should have tomato eyes!

 After that we went to Great Grandpa Syl's 87th Birthday party for cake (sorry no pictures!) 

And following that we went to the Love Lights program at the UW Hospital in Honor of Grandpa Dave. 

Here is a picture of Grandma Jeanne, Aunt Kelly, Daddy, Melanie and Mommy with the Christmas tree lights behind us in honor of Grandpa Dave.

 And a picture of Grandma Jeanne with her sister Sue.

Today Melanie went to James and Marissa's 6th and 4th Birthday Party!  It was at Pump it Up.  This is the second time she has been there and she had a BLAST.  On the way home she told mommy that "that was the best party ever!"

Getting ready to go down the big slide.

 She went down this about 20 times in a row until she finally got bored of it. - and it was not an easy climb to the top!

 Group picture at the end.  Birthday Boy and Girl at the front.  - all the kids were tuckered out!

 Another favorite, riding this car, even though she has one just like it!

Melanie got home from school and as Daddy promised, he would save a spot for her to paint (prime actually) some of her new  (or her soon to be new brother's) bedroom.

She doesn't really have any "paint" clothes" so this is what I could find!  

She now has a paint shirt and socks, for the rest of the year anyways, until she outgrows it!
